April 23, 2022,Pfälzer Höhenweg Adlerbogen&Donnersberg Runde von Imsbach

We ran this tour last year in thick fog. Back then we hardly saw anything, so we repeated the tour today when the weather was better. And it was worth it. Nice Saturday tour.

April 6, 2024,Adlerbogen – Königstuhl, Donnersberg Runde von Imsbach

A beautiful circuit on the Donnersberg, the Keltenberg. The Palatinate High Trail follows the sculpture trail for a while to the Ludwigsturm on the summit, past the Adlerbogen with great views of the Rhine plain. It continues to the Kronenbuchhütte, which is open at certain times. It goes through lovely valleys with heavenly peace and quiet back to the starting …

June 16, 2022,Runde um und übern Donnersberg

In the Pälzer high mountains there was a pleasant breeze almost everywhere today, so the tour was easy to master despite the general heat. Roughly followed the Pfälzer Höhenweg via Hermitenklause, Adlerbogen, Ludwigsturm, Kronbuchenhütte and Kupferberghütte to the end.

Start/finish: Wildenstein / Jakobsweiler hiking car park
Paths: Many forest paths, but also a number of small hiking trails - very nice!
Donnersberg - Ayers Rock / Uluru of the Palatinate ;-)

Always great how much you can discover here. Start near the Keltenpark, which is welcoming visitors again this year. Celts are the big topic around the Donnersberg. Hardly …

June 9, 2025,Pfalz: auf dem Keltischen Skulpturenweg und dem Pfälzer Höhenweg rund um den Donnersberg

The Donnersberg is definitely worth a visit. The Celtic Sculpture Trail is well worth seeing. The view from the Ludwig Tower is fantastic. The kiosk at the foot of the tower is also a highlight. Here you can get everything from honey to smoked sausage.

May 29, 2025,🦅 Adlerbogen - Runde vom Donnersberg

Father's Day motto:
"Running🚶‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️, instead of drinking 🍻"
Today's tour took us to the Donnersberg. This route has been in my saved tours for two years now. I've expanded and replanned it a bit from time to time (mostly on the Palatinate High Trail), but always with the goal of visiting the Eagle's Bow.
The Donnersberg near Dannenfels in the …
